  • Notes

  • In the 1960s car radios were expensive accessories for vehicles and this little device was intended to allow an ordinary household transistor portable to function as a cheap but effective car radio. The car radio antenna was installed on the car and its coaxial lead plugged into the “Tranimate”. The output from the “Tranimate” was then RF coupled to the portable radio. The “Tranimate” was powered by a 9 Volt battery.

    Price is for basic unit only. Price including gutter-grip aerial is $20.95.
